The stock nuts that hold the top hat on are locking nuts that are supposed to be replaced according to the factory specifications. Theyre cheap at the dealer.

Get some loctite blue for the suspension bolts you remove and replace, oh and PB blast to help remove those bolts!

 

other than that...looks like i have everything?!

 

nice set up bro
post some pic when its on...

does anyone know where how the dampening adjustment works?! and where should i have it?!

 

It's 16 clicks total....
Start out by turning it all the way counter-clockwise and then go 8 clicks clockwise to "OEM/Basic Tein" dampening. Clockwise=softer, Counter=firmer.
I think.

 

check out the regional forums and look for local help from people who might have tein ss or atleast experienced. haha

 

well guys, only got the chance to throw on the fronts and they lookk gooooodddd! although i dont want to go lower...im having a hard time resisting. doin the rears on thursday. cant wait...pix will be up asap! thanx for all the help so far guys!

 

pic please

 

im pretty sure its the other way around. also i thought tien basics didnt allow you to adjust dampening. i have the tien SS.

also when you install it have it at 1 inch. from the bottom and see how it looks. adjust it if its to low. 1" = like 1.75" drop? i forgot.
